Bonus Languages?

[evildm]

Hey all,

I was just wondering (cause I can't find mention in the book) but characters don't get bonus languages equal to their intelligence bonus in d20 modern, do they?

 

[Crothian]

I don't think they do

No, they don't in the D20 Modern book.

In my games, I have it as a house rule that they do.

My houserule is that everyone is bilingual if they want to be (one player chose not to be). Unless store-clerks are the smartest demographic in the city, intelligence has nothing to do with acquiring additional languages. I keep the general rule for balance and simplicity but seeing as my game is set in Ottawa, I offer bilingualism for free (English and French only) and additional languages above and beyond that must be purchased with skill points.

Cheers
